How much does a padel court earn?

The revenue generated by a padel court depends on several factors: location, attendance, pricing policy, operating costs, and the business model (private management, municipal management, club association, etc.). Here is a realistic estimate for a well-located and well-managed indoor padel court:

Potential income
(per field)

1. Average hourly rate
In France: between €20 and €40 per hour depending on the region, the quality of the infrastructure and whether it is indoors or outdoors.

Reasonable average: €30/hour

2. Reservation rate (occupancy)
Average target in a well-managed structure: 4 to 8 hours/day

Very good performance: 10 to 12 hours/day

3. Gross monthly income
30 €/h × 6 h/day × 30 days = 5,400 €/month

Maximum with 10 hours/day = €9,000/month

4. Gross annual income
Between €65,000 and €100,000/year per plot.

Current expenses

Land rental or credit (if rented or purchased)

Maintenance: floor, fencing, lighting, cleaning

Electricity (especially for covered/lit areas): €300 to €800/month

Staff / reception (if not automated)

Insurance

Marketing & booking software

Profitability

ROI (return on investment): On average between 2 and 4 years, if attendance is good.
 
Cost of installing a covered pitch = €50,000 to €100,000 depending on the quality.
